Well I expressed to you in the first round that I disliked the Brohm pick. I don't think Brohm translates well to the NFL, I don't doubt that he can be a competent QB in the NFL but if you're drafting QB in the first, you better hope he becomes Pro Bowl caliber and I don't see Brohm becoming that in the NFL. But I've felt that we've already had that discussion. A LT would have been a much better pick there, particularly Ryan Clady.
I thought your second rounder on Mayo was much better. I still would have gone Lofton but I'm about 50/50 on that. Both will do well in the NFL, and Mayo was a solid pick that filled a newly arisen need for the Panthers.
I'm with most of the folks here that believe Johnson was an iffy pick. Johnson has a hell of a lot of promise, but he's largely unproven and considering that he's the same sort of back that Williams is, I don't think he'd be worth it for the Panthers in the 3rd. Johnson can return kicks, though, so it's possible he'll pay off.
But who else would I have drafted in the third, then? Well, we had a conversation about Dre Moore not too long ago, and I felt he was the much better choice. You changed your mind at the 11th hour, I'm not sure why, and opted for Johnson. But the Panthers have a sterling reputation with developing DTs, and Moore would have flourished in Carolina.
